The panel was held in Second Life, but the focus of our discussion
was firmly on the future of new virtual world platforms and new
modalities for immersive learning. We were projected into the physical world meeting room in Chicago where about 30 people attended in person. Here’s a summary:

Still deeply entrenched in Gartner’s Trough of
Disillusionment, is it time to revisit virtual worlds? Mike Kemmler
hosts a virtual panel discussion via Second Life with a distinguished
group of virtual world innovators, presenters, consultants, and authors,
including Anders Gronstedt, Mark Jankowski, Karl Kapp, and John
“Pathfinder” Lester. Panelists address the current state of learning in
virtual worlds, explain platforms they see organizations using for
immersive learning, and discuss current challenges and future
possibilities of using virtual worlds for learning.

Thanks again, Mike, for this great opportunity. It was an honor to
be on a panel with such a stellar group of pioneers in virtual worlds
and immersive learning.

NOTE: The audio from Second Life is bit choppy for the first 30 seconds, but then clears up perfectly for the rest of the video.
